So it sounds like June 7th will be "Opening Day". I will be there for it hopefully, but I heard troubling news today as I'm walking out to Nicole's vehicle. The guy who owns his own moving company told me they plan on training us at other stores for our department. Which pretty much leaves me in the dust. I don't know what the fuck I'm going to do if that is the case. I can't even plan on trying to illegally drive to one of the stores. Not only does the Hyundai not have a cracked windshield and the tires are more than likely fucked, but the plates that are Gorilla taped on are not even for that vehicle! If I had more money saved up, I would have just tried and posted up in a biking distance of the store in a motel or something. I'm just going to have to play it by ear.
We sell Memory Foam Sketchers at our store. There is a crate in the back labeled "High-Velocity GM". That is the shit I need to stay away from! In regards to eating food you brought from home at work, which is COMPLETELY new territory to me: Pop-Tarts are WIN. So are cheese sticks and fresh fruit. Need to turn into one of those sales guys that look at the ads and buy shit in bulk that I use frequently enough. But to be honest I'm so far Minimalist at this point I don't know if I would have it any other way. I've been enjoying real company with people when I've gotten off of work these last few nights and I really have enjoyed that a great deal.
On break I threw up a flag, or something like that. I walked around to where smokers are "supposed to be" when they smoke and tried to hang out with the black folk instead of the 2nd Tier Blue Shirt People and got denied. So I sat there alone and vaped. Fuck everyone and everything. I don't really give a flying fuck if nobody there likes me or not. So I make relationships with inanimate objects like the Groot character in the form of a Disney Infinity v2.0 action figure or whatever the fuck those things are all about.
We also sell Lava Lamps in our store! We got the classic one, one with glitter, a volcano one, an aquarium and a rainbow coloured one. They are pretty fucking cool looking. OF COURSE I want one. But I'm not going to get one. I'm going to resist the temptation. Those candles tho! Perhaps I will indulge and get myself a SINGLE candle to have on hand and burn. I really do enjoy them and how they all smell quite a bit. There are very FEW that I do not enjoy the smell of.
I wanna play games, board games with someone frequently. This ties into Minimalism and enjoying the company of others as I have this week when I have been working 9-5 and had off the early part of the week. I really tried to maximize the time that I've been given those days. Those podcasts by the Minimalists really resonate with me quite well. The one point in particular by Ryan was when was going on about you should consider what you're doing to be the most important thing in the world because you are indeed missing out on everything else in the entire world with whatever it is that has your attention.
We sell salt banks! I got pretty amped up when I saw those. Also they have a ceramic version of an "open milk carton" that you would get in school. Thought that was pretty neat as well. Tea bag rests too!
Instead of OMFG and rushing to Walmart the second I decide I 'need' something (not driving helps too tho..) is you realize quite quickly that you do not need that item. I need a "sling" to bike to work with cos my backpack is "too big" for my locker. No, you'll use your biking backpack and you'll simply fold it in half and put it in your locker. Done. Coffee thermos for the morning. Result. No. Spray bottle for hair. Result. No.
Cinco De Mayo, Two-Thousand-Sixteen will go down in history to some as just another day in the neighborhood. I'll remember it differently than everybody else. It will be what it is. I shall never own another animal so long as I live. My only hope is that their kingdom does not abandon me.
Bradley speaks of being roommates again. He feels that Jennifer is going to move in with Sean sooner than later. I said instead of asking about or suggesting anything of the like he should just pan it out naturally and see if she makes that move. If I get past the aforementioned issue with training at a different store, I would absolutely LOVE to be that close to work. In ways I could not possibly describe. Imagine, you could quite honestly not take a lunch and go home to do so! Although there are issues more obviously deeper than that. Only time will tell, and that is even if the moment presents itself.
The Vape Shop on Sunday may be cancelled due to Mother's Day! Oh shit I wonder if they are even open!
Get the "Handshakes" page back online, added to Todoist. I have merged "OpenPLUTO" related stuff and general "desk work" to a unified list and it's called "OpenPLUTO Office". We'll see.
Can you afford this? Can you afford THREE of these things? Thinking things out long and hard really seems to the way to get shit done efficiently. Like the arrow on the gas-tank too bad it's 34 years before one realizes such a thing.
It's weird being in the President's chair with an empty clubhouse. Killed the heat. There is nothing here to warm. Save the dough. I should be to folding laundry and getting to sleep sooner than later. I need to get up in six hours and get out and get after it.
